Message privacy, increasingly important to Bitcoiners, can be achieved with public and private key cryptography.As a Bitcoiner, you’re going to need a secure way to communicate privately, without relying on a company to encrypt your data for you. For example, freely available methods with end-to-end encryption like Telegram (not with its default option) and Signal and others are easy to use, but I don’t completely trust them.This article will show you how to send messages using free open-source software, GNU Privacy Guard (gpg), which allows encryption and decryption using public and....
